Groundbreaking both aesthetically and technically. The Flotex Sottsass collection is the result of a creative collaboration between Forbo Flooring and the Italian design studio, Sottsass Associati, responsible for the famous Memphis Design trend at the end of the last century.

The designs have a common theme: irregular, apparently random, organic forms, and “optical” features that play with scale.

Why Choose Flotex Sottsass?

Flotex Sottsass comprises of four exquisite designs, Bacteria, Wool, Terrazzo & Kasuri, that demonstrate a depth of detail and vibrancy of colour never seen before in Flotex.

Bacteria is a development of one of Ettore Sottsass' signature designs. Created in the late 1970s it embodies the modern age of nano technology and genetic engineering.

Wool design was conceived when Ettore Sottsass laid filaments of wool yarns, collected from various countries, onto a flat, coloured surface.

Terrazzo is a witty twist on the concept of Italian Terrazzo. It gives the impression of a beautifully laid Mediterranean terrazzo floor but on closer inspection, the 'chips' are revealed as pieces of torn paper.

Kasuri draws its inspiration from the traditional Japanese woven textile technique used to create the eponymous fabric.
